Low key event only came across it in another news link. Obviously some ideas(drogue parachute) were adopted to maintain stability whilst in freefall, Baumgartner dangerously suffered from instability.

He works at Google. Pretty sure that's the extent of their involvement.

57 yo senior google executive. Maybe it was a private venture. Publicity is publicity
